Register the IP addresses and iSCSI names of each server that will access the ETERNUS Disk
storage system. At the same time, set the Host Response No. registered in

servers are allowed to access which ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs.
See "Set iSCSI Host" of "ETERNUSmgr User Guide" for details.

Setting the Server Accessible LUN Groups (Setting Affinity Groups)

Create the server accessible LUN groups (Affinity Groups).
See "Set Affinity Group" of "ETERNUSmgr User Guide" for details.
2.1.5

Creating and Allocating LUN Groups (Setting Host-Affinity Groups)

Define the relationship between the server to be connected to the iSCSI port of the ETERNUS
Disk storage system and the created Affinity Group. This sets access restrictions to the
ETERNUS Disk storage system from each server.
See "Allocate Host-Affinity Group" of "ETERNUSmgr User Guide" for details.

12).
When the server OS is HP-UX, Windows®, Linux, or VMware ESX, assign
the Affinity Groups starting from LUN0 and continuing in ascending order.
The server cannot recognize the ETERNUS Disk storage system LUNs
unless they are assigned in this order.
This restriction does not apply when the server is running a Solaris OS.
• When setting a LUN that has the same configuration for multiple iSCSI
paths for recognition, define the same Affinity Group.
• If the one-to-one relationship between IP addresses and LAN cards
cannot be determined, the Host-Affinity Group settings may not be
performed correctly.
In this case, trying various settings may be necessary until the server is
able to recognize the ETERNUS Disk storage system logical disks.
